Red Door Magazine 21

Identities mix and interlace in the big cities of the future. Languages become
fluid and humanity begins to develop new techniques of communication and
information to adapt to the speed an rythm of the ever-changing algorithms of
life all around us.
In the heart of Helsinki, a poet stands strong through adversity and the challenges
of a still-broken immigration system that jeopardizes the life and projects he’s
been building not just in Finland, but throughout the Nordic countries in collaborations
and partnerships with many key players in Scandinavian cities, artists and
creators... and among them, the Red Door network.
Although this is the first time Daniel’s work is included in this magazine, Daniel
has been an active partner and collaborator of Red Door through the creation
and development of ideas, projects and events that involve a multimedia aspect
and the transnationality concept that echoes in our veins. But today, let us be
direct and speak of him and his work.
Daniel is originally from Mexico and introduces himself as a graphic designer,
multimedia artist and poet, but he is also a board memer of the Finnish PEN,
which fights for writers’ freedom of expression, and also collaborates with other
local organizations, such as Globe Art Point.
His performances often involve multimedia aspects and other sound elements,
and can include masks, typewriters, other artists from various nationalities performing
alongside, projections, mapping and of course... poetry.
In episode #6 of the Red Transmissions podcast he shares with us his creative
process, the thought of the X as a sygil that reflects identity, the crossing of paths
and literary forms, and much more.
